HYDRATION

Hydration is key to maintaining soft, smooth, and radiant skin. A well-moisturized complexion appears plumper and more luminous, while also supporting the skin’s natural barrier against external aggressors like pollution and climate.

A complete hydrating skincare routine typically includes a gentle cleanser, an essence-in-lotion or hydrating serum, followed by a face moisturizer. For added benefits, layer lightweight textures to deeply replenish and lock in moisture throughout the day and night.

YSL’s Top Secrets Instant Moisture Glow and Pure Shots Hydra Bounce Essence-in-Lotion are standout choices for intense hydration. They offer lightweight textures that absorb quickly while delivering long-lasting moisture, making them ideal for Singapore’s humid climate.

Hydration is essential for all skin types, including oily and combination skin. Using non-comedogenic, lightweight hydrating products helps balance oil production and prevent dehydration, which can lead to excess sebum.

Hydrating products should be applied immediately after cleansing, starting with essences or lotions, then layering with serums and face moisturizers. Applying products while skin is slightly damp helps lock in hydration more effectively.
